NJ official says rules are not hostile

The New Jersey official behind proposed medical marijuana regulations says she is not trying making the rules ‘hostile’ and restricting access to patients.  Well she is just doing the opposite of what she says considering.  Patients have to have seen a doctor for at least a year who will write that all other medication has not worked in order to get their card to obtain the marijuana.  Also growers and dispensaries will have to have strict access and background checks, plus they may deny you for whatever reason.

Kinsey simple put it, “Prohibition does no work.”  He went on to ask the questions, “Why are a third of Americans put in the position of being illegal?  Why is marijuana our largest cash crop?”
